=========================
Dem Schnee, dem Regen,
Dem Wind entgegen,
Im Dampf der Klüfte
Durch Nebeldüfte,
Immer zu! Immer zu!
Ohne Rast und Ruh!
Lieber durch Leiden
Möcht ich mich schlagen,
Als so viel Freuden
Des Lebens ertragen.
Alle das Neigen
Von Herzen zu Herzen,
Ach, wie so eigen
Schaffet das Schmerzen!
Wie soll ich fliehen?
Wälderwärts ziehen?
Alles vergebens!
Krone des Lebens,
Glück ohne Ruh,
Liebe, bist du!
=================================
To the snow, to the rain
To the wind opposed,
In the mist of the ravines
Through the scent of fog,
Always on! Always on!
Without rest and peace!
I would rather through suffering
Fight myself,
Than so many joys
Of life endure.
All the inclining
Of heart to heart,
Ah, how curiously
that creates pain!
Where shall I flee?
To the forest move?
All in vain!
Crown of life,
Happiness without peace,
Love, are you!
==================================
Benita Valente on yhdysvaltalainen sopraano. Hän syntyi Delanossa, Kaliforniassa, ja valmistui Curtis Institute of Musicista vuonna 1960. Valenten varhaisen uran merkittävä vaikuttaja oli Lotte Lehmann, jonka yksityisoppilaaksi hän pääsi 16-vuotiaana. Hänen Metropolitan-debyyttinsä New Yorkissa tapahtui syyskuussa 1973. Hän on tulkinnut mm. Mozartin oopperarooleja. Valente ei ole pelkästään oopperalaulaja, vaan myös kansainvälisesti arvostettu liedien, kamarimusiikin ja oratorion esittäjä. Hänen ohjelmistossaan ovat edustettuna kaikki aikakaudet renessanssin ja barokin siirtymävaiheesta (Monteverdi) nykysäveltäjien teoksiin saakka. Valente ilmoitti vetäytyvänsä lavalta esiinnyttyään viimeisen kerran 26. lokakuuta 2000.

@Seinway I agree.... I do not think I have ever heard a more convincing performance of this incredible work.
